Blogtoberfest day 7

Out for dinner with my buddies. Cocktails, wine, thai food and Dolly Diamond at 10.30. Tried to take photo but buggered if I know how to do that by iPhone!

Hangover expected tomorrow.

Day 6 blogtoberfest

My littlest man is having his first sleepover.



I miss him.



I know these things need to be done, and he's at one of my great friend's houses with her little boy, whom he adores, and he's had an absolute blast, but it's doesn't feel right not to have him here.



On the upside, big bro has had the best time. He got to sit in the front seat with me on the way to Aikido ( bad mummy), had some of my coke ( as in cola, not powdery stuff which I would be far too scared to touch), had fish and chips in the park with me and Dad, watched Transformers (an M. - bad Daddy) till 9.30 and had Tim tams. Very happy boy!


Still miss my little one though. Can't wait to see him tomorrow.


Better get used to it though, I suppose. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

Day 5 Blogtoberfest -What's cookin'?

Cooked up a storm this last night and this arvo.

Love you, Thermomix! Love you, Donna Hay!

Pumpkin and Sage Risotto, with Chicken.
Lemon and Passionfruit Yogurt Cake.
Lemon curd Tart!

Wanna recipe?

I'm thinking of doing a dinner prize as my celebratory Blogtoberfest giveaway.

You'd have to live in Melbourne though.

Thoughts?

My morning - Day 4, Blogtoberfest

I forgot to add fighting kids.

Day 3 Blogtoberfest - Kid's Choice

Daylight Saving is here!! Love those long summer nights spent outside (unless it's too stinking hot and you're forced inside with the air conditioner on full blast and the curtains drawn, Aussie style.)

It's the beginning of the second week of the school hols. The sun is shining but they were promised an outing to The Smurfs, so that is what we are doing today. Donning our attractive 3D specs and heading down to the Rivoli at midday. Maybe an afternoon in the park.

The Mustang is back from the garage, having had its innards replaced. I asked the man to make it quieter, but I fear that my wish has not come true.

Fruits of my labours yesterday. There is a floor in here! Let the sewing begin..

 Still not perfect, but much better.

Every night in my dreams.... Day 2: Blogtoberfest

OK, OK, I know it's technically cheating but 2 posts in one day is making top for not starting yesterday!

We have a Titanic obsession going down in Chez Williams at present. We watched the movie yesterday (heavily edited by me with the remote, fast forwarding all horrible or slightly sexy bits). 

Here is what was made while mummy slumbered in bed ('til 9.30 - result!)

 The Band Aid packet is the iceberg, in case that needed explanation! I tried to encourage a slightly longer ship, but was told that the propellers were already attached therefore, impossible. They are now making a poster to adorn their walls.

And Mr Sun is trying to shine today! Happy Day!

Blogtoberfest, Day 1- a series of confessions!

First of all, I'm a day late starting Blogtoberfest as it is indeed the 2nd of October today. I looked at entering last night, but hate blogging from the iPad, and although the movie I was watching was average at best (Tomorrow, When the War Began) I couldn't be arsed getting up and going to "the pit of despair".

Which brings me to my second confession.

 This is the worst half of the pit of despair - the sewing part. The office part is pretty messy too, but this is the reason I am not motivated to sew at the mo'.

 It really beggars belief! There is crap everywhere.

I am resolved to spending a good part of my day trying to get this beast into some semblance of order.
